reflecting the diversity of antibodies used in hCG immunoassays and hence the specific variants detected by those assays. Virtually all current blood and urine hCG assays are “sandwich ...

However, assembling a functional and reliable assay requires precise techniques, careful material handling and an understanding of flow dynamics. This step-by-step guide highlights the full process of ...

Using ChIP and luciferase assays, we also demonstrated that the cancer cells with wild-type but not mutant BRCA1 directly repress the expression of β-hCG by binding to its promoter. Further ...

serum or urine hCG concentrations are elevated (5 IU/L or more on the Charing Cross hCG assay). Residual tissue regression occurs spontaneously in most patients, and a corresponding normalization ...

Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology (BRIT) has developed Human Chronic Gonadotrophin (HCG) assay kit, an Immuno Radiometric Assay (IRMA) system for detection of complication in pregnancy. BRIT ...

Because the alpha-subunit of hCG is the same as the alpha-subunits of thyrotropin, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone, cross reactivity could interfere with the assays if the ...

In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers investigated whether human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) [Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-authorized testosterone-releasing agent ...

Serum was sent to reference laboratories to test for hyperglycosylated hCG, which was undetectable (< 5.5 IU/L, the detection limit of the assay), and free β-hCG, which was low at 3.6 IU/L. Serum ...
